Ingenta lands three Vista contracts for £3.3m

Ingenta on Monday secured three multi-year customer renewal contracts for its Vista solution, worth a total of £3.3m over three years.

The publishing services provider said that the contracts follow its recent improvements to customer support and service models for existing Vista customers.

One of the three publishers, Human Kinetics, has been using the Ingenta system since 1999 and has moved to the new "Vista as a service" model with its new contract to mark the next stage of the evolving partnership.

Vista is designed to assist with print-based publishing, as well as the growth of digital-based business, by matching the requirements of book-based publishing and subscription publishers.

Major pubishers who use the solution include Elsevier, Penguin Random House, Macmillan, SAGE and Wolters Kluwer.

Scott Winner, acting chief executive of Ingenta, said: "Our Vista system continues to enable our valued customer base and represents 40 years of partnerships between Ingenta and the publishing community. This is a testament to our extensive industry knowledge and dedication to providing practical industry solutions. Recently, we have released further upgrades to Vista and have now enabled Vista as a service."
